American superstar Gretchen Walsh, 20, just redefined dominance at the Short-Course Swimming World Championships in Budapest—breaking the women’s 100m butterfly world record three times in a single week! Her final time of 52.71 seconds in Saturday’s final left rivals trailing in her wake, securing her fifth gold medal of the competition.
Redefining Limits
Walsh first shattered the record in Thursday’s heats (52.83s), then smashed it again in Friday’s semifinals (52.79s). By Saturday, she was unstoppable, claiming gold ahead of the Netherlands’ Tessa Giele (53.47s) and Australia’s Alexandria Perkins (53.57s). Fans compared her streak to a 'video game character glitching reality.'
